Method
Tortilla Chips Preparation
- 1
Cut the Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles (like pizza slices) to create chips.

Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.
